Long weekend
Many red days of the calendar in Russia are an occasion to meet family, friends, go to the cottage or go on a short trip. An extended weekend or vacation appears if the holiday falls on Friday, Monday, Saturday or Sunday. In 2020, there are several such periods:

The longest weekends always fall on New Year and Christmas days. In the New Year holidays, two additional days are formed thanks to Saturday and Sunday, January 4 and 5. These days may be postponed to May 4 and 5, which forms a five-day “long weekend”. So far, this is only a draft resolution and whether the schedule of transfers in this edition will be accepted, it will become known only after the order of the Ministry of Social Development of the Russian Federation (approximately at the end of October 2019).
Shortened working days
The working day is reduced by an hour on the eve of one of the official holidays. In 2019, they reduced 6 days, and in 2020 it will turn out only 5 shortened working days:
- April 30 - on the eve of the May holidays.

- June 11 - on the eve of Russia Day.
- November 3 - on the eve of National Unity Day.
- December 31 is the final working day of the year before the New Year 2021.
Work and weekend transfers
To optimize and make more efficient use of working time, the government draws up a schedule of postponed working days and days off. This is done in order to lengthen the holidays and get good results from workers. To transfer, the government uses several rules:
- The only working day between the holiday event and the weekend is shifted to Saturday.
- If the holiday falls on the weekend, allocate another day to relax. It is most often postponed to Monday and less often to any other day of the year.
In 2020, the Russians are guaranteed to receive 5 additional days for rest:
- January 4 - postponed to May 4;
- January 5 - May 5;
- February 23 - February 24;
- March 8 - March 9, the nearest Monday after the holiday;
- May 9 - May 11.
Unofficial holidays
Unfortunately, on such days, the government does not set aside a weekend. But unofficial holidays are also a great occasion to get together as a family or in the company of friends. Such dates include days for congratulating people of certain professions, name days, important dates for Orthodox Christians.
